Nakajima Ki-49 Donryu was a Japanese heavy bomber used primarily by the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II (1939–1945). These aircraft operated in the theaters of war in China, the Pacific, and New Guinea. They were distinguished by considerable operational autonomy, serving as strategic bombers thanks to strong armor and long operational range. Although the Ki-49 did not match its Allied counterparts in terms of speed, it was recognized for its durability and reliability.

The Eduard SS596 photo-etched set allows you to significantly enhance the interiors of the cockpit and crew stations, including elements such as seatbelts, instrument panels, levers, or cockpit equipment details. Thanks to this, the Hasegawa Ki-49 model can be recreated with exceptional accuracy, true to the real appearance of this historic bomber.

We recommend the Eduard SS596 set to both advanced and intermediate modelers who want to upgrade their projects. The assembly difficulty is rated at 3/5 – precise work is required, but experienced modelers should not have difficulties. The use of photo-etched details ensures an outstanding effect and opens up extensive personalization opportunities for your model.

If you are looking for a way to raise the level of realism of your Ki-49 Donryu model, the Eduard SS596 set will be an excellent choice, helping your modeling workshop stand out from the rest.
